THE POLYNESIAN. SATURDAY. DECEMBER 27, 18G2. Christmas has come and gone, and the New Year stands at the door with rosy cheeks and bands fall of promises. We hope the holidays feave brought gladness to many a heart, that thej have knit friendships still closer, ha?e softened animosities, and have left each of us with the pure and serene consciousness that we have be grudged none their happiness, and have been deemed by none unworthy of our joy. Christmas is, however, not only a season of joy, but also of reflection. While e acknowledge with praises and jubilee, humbly and gratefully, the mercies vouchsafed during the past year, the life health., strength, prosperity, singly or to gether, let us not forget to look behind the mask of our outward being, and 6can the status of the inward spirit. Gentle reader : You passed safely over the. threshold of the year now closing ; it has borne yoa along, through good and ill in sight of the opening portals of the coining year ; have you so conducted yourself that you can look back with satisfaction, look forward with hope, whether the New Year greets you in this world or the next? llave you been obedient to God, been loyal to con stituted authority, been loving and kind to your fellow-men, been true to yourself and the light within and around you ! Have you shown mercy, forfiearnnce, forgiveness ; have you shown justice and rectitude, charity and toleration 1 If you have, pass on ! Thre is light on your count enance to guide you through the gates of death and over the bridge of EMis, much more through ti.e archway of a coming year. If you have, pass on ! There can be no darkness or doubt on a heart like yours, whether looking up to the stars with eternity before you, or looking down upon earth with time beneath your feet. Victor Hugo says, aa beautifully as true : The head which does not somestimes look back on the fading horizons contains neither thought nor love." Let us look back then at the receding horizon of the past year and see how the Fates have dealt with us as a nation and an individuals. Peace, like the calm sunlight of a summer's day, has lain over the land. No foreign foes nor domestic strife have sent mourning and bitterness of heart among the people Quietly and undisturbed by vague alarms or cramping fear every honest calling has been pursued and been rewarded. No plague or pestilence has scourged the people and racked the mind with apprehensions dire. Plenty and peace have filled the board and seasoned the food of industry and thrift, and no gaunt, fainine etricken spectres have met the eye, appealing or accusing the God above or the social condition below. Commerce has thriven, agriculture ad vanced, justice been faithfully administered, and the mental activity of the people increased. Are not these blessings enough to be thankful for as a nation! Must we refuse the glory ot the sun-rise because some storm-clouds of the night still linger on the western horizon ? Shall we bargain with God, and make the Lord our debtor ! No ! All praise and glory for the good we have enjoyed : it might have been greater, had we been more de serving ; and even the loss of him, whose name hung on every lip with love and desire, we are bound to believe, was not wholly evil, but for some all-wise beneficent purpose. Nations as well as individuals grow greater in sorrow fire refines the gold and a grief that falls on many heads brings hearts together which but for that might have been estranged forever. As individuals we have all had our burdens to bear, our crosses, misfortunes and errors to stand up under. We may have failed and fainted in the struggle of life, but if so, with ourselves the fault, for the mercy of God never falters nor faints. If there has been darkness on our path in life, that darkness came from the heart within. Nature still coaxes the rebellious soul with her blandest smiles, and the stars speak their calm rebuke to intemperate sorrow. However complicated the burden, however cruel the cross, yet each of us has that within him that will overcome the one and assuage the other, would we but drop our accursed egotism, that bastard-apple of the tree of knowledge, on which we feed our souls, and shutout friendship, sympathy and love; would we but trust in God and take the chalice without grumbling. We have thus most briefly taken the liberty, on the occasion of the holidays and the approach of the New Year, to moralize to our readers. Let us now make merry, if we can ; a joyous heart makes the burden half. If we cannot, let us make others merry ; true love is unselfish. Let us read to our children, or let them read to us the following poem by C. C. Moore, about the visit of Santa Claus. It is a fit epilouge to Christmas musings. 'T was the night before Christina, when all thro' the house Not a creature wai stirring, not even a moue: Tbe stockings were hung by the chimney with care, la hope that St. Nicholas soon would be there ; The children were nestled all snug in their beds, While risiom of sugarplums danced through their heads; And mamma in ber 'kerchief, and I in my cap, Had just settled our brains for a long winter's nap When out on tbe lawn there roe such a clatter, I sprang from the bed to see what was tbe matter: A way to the window I flew like a (lath. Tore open the shutters and threw op the sash. Tbe moon, on the breast of the new-fallen snow. Cave the lustre of mid-day to objects below. When, what to my wondering evgs should appear Bat a miniature sleigh and eight tiy reindeer, With a little old driver, so lively and quick, I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick. More rapid tlian eagles his coursers they came, And be whistled, and shouted, and called them by name: " Now, Dasher ! now. Dancer ! now, Prancer t now. Vixen ! On 1 Comet, on! Cupid, on! Ponder and Bliien To tbe top ol tbe porch ! to tbe top of the wall ' Nov, dash away, dash away, dasb airay all ! " jf As leaves that before the wild hurricane fls? When they meet with an obstacle, moo f -ky. So, up to the house-top the course rsy flew. With tbe sleigh full of toys and St Nicholas too. And then in a twinkling I heard on tbe roof Tbe prancing and pawing of each little hoot As 1 drew in my bead, and was turning around, Town the chimney St. Nirbolas came with a bound. He was dressed all in far, from bis bead to his loot. And bis clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot; A bundle of toys he bad flung on his back, And be looked like a peddler just opening bis pack. His eys bow tbey twinkled ! his dimples, how merry ! His cheeks were like rose, his note like a f terry ; His droU little mouth was drawn up like a bow And tbe beard on bis cbia was as white as the snow. Tbe stump of a pipe be held tight in bis teeth. And the smoke, it encircled bis bead like a wreath. He had a round face and a little round belly That shook, when be laughed, like a I o vl full of jelly. He was chubby and plump ; a right jolly old elf And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself. A wink of bis eye, and a twist of bis head, 8oon gave me to know I had nothing to dread. He spoke not a Word but went straight to bis work, And filled all the stockings ; then turned with a jerk. And laying bis finger aside cf his nose, And giving a nod, np tbe chimney he rose. He sprang to his sleigh, to bis team gave a whistle. And away they all flew like the down of a thistle, But I heard him exclaim, ere be drove out of sight, Happy Christinas to all, aud to all a good night !" Froew Tahiti. By the arrival of the bark Damtitta from London via Tahiti, we have news from the latter place up to Nov. 20. The most prominent subject of iutercst from that country is the nefarious attempt of certain Peruvian vessels to kidnap a cumber of the Gambier islanders for the purpose of selling them to the guano proprie tors ou the Chincha Islands. Information having reached the Protectorate Government of this new phase of the slave trade, the Government steamer Latouche Trtville had been dispatched to the Tuamotu group to look after aud defeat this inhuman enterprise. In the meantime the Peruvian bark SerpienU Marina, mho h;id ventured into the very harbor of Papeete, had been seized by the Protectorate Government as guilty of car rying on this species of tiaffic in human flesh, and the trial was progressing at last advices. Other news ar rived at Tahiti report that similar attempts to kidnap natives had been made at Mangariva and the Marque sas and that a number of vessels were at this moment cruising among the Polynesian Islands for the purpose of recruiting laborers for the Chinchas. We have been requested by Mr. de Varigny, Acting Consul aud Commissi'-ner of France in this place, to Etate that any information tuuchiug this subject .-ul which may lead to the detection and defeat of the guilty parties in their operations among the Poly nesi.m Islands, whether civilized or barbarous, will be gratefully re ceived by him. In the name of humanity we think that the most effi cient measure to nip this crime in the bud, would be lor the French aud English GoveintneUs to joiutly and peremptorily demand of the Peruvian Government the restitution of every Polynesian islander thus brought to the Chincha Islands. It is through such acts of in famy and barbarity that commerce is imperilled and innocent vessels cut off by deceived and outraged tribes upon the thousands of islands and groups of Poly nesia. We leirn further through the politeness of Mr.de Varigny that the Protectorate Government intends to hold a great Polynesian Industrial Exhibition at Ta hiti on or about the loth of August next year, to which this and other independent island Slates of Polynesia will be invited to contribute. A la bonne heure ! while acknowledging tbe eourtesy, we feel sure that Hawaii will not fail to maintain her rank as " the Heart of the Pacific." Tbe Protectorate Government had commenced a gen eral, thorough survey of the Tahitian Islands, embrac ing every individual land, district and island, with accompanying descriptions ; a work whose usefulness will be invaluable. A similar survey of the Hawaiian Islands has long been a desideratum, but our Legisla ture has not yet perceived its necessity, nor found the means to defray its expenses, though repeatedly urged to do so. The fourth son of Queen Pomare, Tuariva, has been sent to France to complete his education. He went as passenger on board of the frigate Iris, which left for France on the 3d Nov. By a law of the SOth October last, we s e that in struction in the French language has become obligatory in the common schools of Tahiti, to be taught equally with the Tahitian language, and that schools for girls are to be separated from i-chools for boys, and that un til proper arrangements could be made, the classes of each sex should be kept separate and at differ en t hours. We congratulate our Tahitian neighbors on this measure. We have talked 1 ng enough about it, but ours has been " a v.ice in the wilderness' for many years and as yet no Emanuel has appeared on the edu cational horizon. The last Legislature unexpectedly screwed its courage up to enact a law for tbe separation of the sexes in school, but, wherever the fault may lie, from that day to this the Act has bee a cox el preterea nihil. We confess to a feeling of annoy -nee that the Tahitian should take the step of us in those matters which exclusively belong to the improvement and civ ilization of the indigenous inhabitants. From what we can learn of Tahitian legislation and Tahitian execu tive, an Act ordered to take effect " from and after the day of its publication' is not often permitted to gather cobwebs for four months in Government Bureaus. A table published in the Messager de Tahiti of Nov. 9 gives the value of foreign coins at Tahiti, viz : An American Gold Eagle 51 fr. C5c " " " DoiL.r 5 fr. 15c An English Sovereign 25 fr. 20c United States Dime 53c Spanish Douro, Brazilian. South American and New Granadian piastre .... 5fr.-30c Sp mish Real 66c English Shilling 1 fr. 10c Chilian Peso 5 fr. The population cf Tahiti continues in a moat satis factory sanitary condition. From statistical (official) tables we notice that " births " for the nine months, ending Oct. 1, bore to " deaths " nearly the proportion of 7 to 4, or, closer, 186 to 114. Of births, the fe males were to the male as 107 to 79. Of deaths the proportion was 58 females to 56 males. This showing of a Bister country is suggestive of many serious thoughts, when compared with our own, where deaths seem to preponderate over births in such an unnatural ratio ; and that leads us to ask again what has become of tbe Sanitary Commission that was, or was to be appointed ? We certaiuly must give the Tahitian Go ernment the credit of being better posted on the sani tary condition of its people, its official returns on this subject being far better compiled and more lull than ours. Grammar Scbaal a ad Kducnlioa. We notice with pleasure that the Rev. Geo. Mason, M. A., will open a Grammar School on the 12th of January next. It is another index of social advance, and one of the means of advancing others. While we most heartily recommend every measure of this kind, and honor those who untiringly devote them selves to the education of the young, we must again call upon the Government not to wait for private benevolence or accidental opportunities to supply the educational wants of this pe.ple, but to take the sub ject in hand with a will and at once, on a large com prehensive scale that shall embrace every part of the country. The silence of the Board of Education on this subject is unaccountable. Aactian Sales. This evening there will be a sale of fancy articles, toys, et-M for New Year's presents, at the new auc tion room ol H. W. Severance, on Queen street ; and on Tuesday next the last evening sale for the year comes off at J. H. Cole's sales-room, on the same street. That will be the last opportunity to procure those little tokens of lore and affection with which civilized people are accustomed to rtmember their friends. Christ snae ia Haaalala. More than common efforts, proceeding from different directions, having been made to celebrate Christmas in Honolulu this year, in a Christian, civilized, proper ad becoming manner, it is mete that we should notice, so far as space permits, the manner in which this great Festival was kept Public notice having been issued by order of the Government that tbe day would be kept as a public holiday, and all public offices closed, Christmas Eve came with due warning to usher in the day of all days that should fill the Christian heart with joy andJad ness. An extraordinary inquiry and preparatil prevailed for some time previous after ChrbtmasSfys and Christmas presents, to gladden the young and sur prise the old ; and, as the evening shadows began to fall, young hearts began to flutter, old faces grew mys terious. The air was ominous of something ; but whether of a snow-storm or of Santa Claus, was the question young minds tried to solve, though opinions leaned strongly in favor of the latter. Christmas trees were dressed in various quarters of the town ; the cus tom, we are glad to see, is gradually increasing and promises to become a permanent institution in our community. Of those that fell under our notice, we will mention a few, as a memento for future times, end hope we will be forgiven for bringing private matters to the public gtze. The Christmas tree in the vestry roorn of the Fort Street Church was the perl of the evening, both as regards size, the number of its re ceivers and the variety of its gifts. To Mr. Brewster, the teacher of the Fort Street School, belongs the credit of the enterprise and the arrangement All his schol ars, numbering about 70, were present with their pa rents and friends, and a brighter, happier set of juve niles it would be difficult to find, search the world over. Equally tastefully arranged and gorgeously loaded with presents was the Christmas tree at Mrs. Dominis', Washington Place. To Mrs. Dominis fairly belongs the honor of having started the institution of Christmas trees in Honolulu. For several years, when indiffer ence or stupidity bnnihed tbe day nnd its hallowed associations from the memory of childhood, her house alone resounded to the gleesome voices of t he young, gathered around her well-dressed Christmas tn-e and her hospitable board, until now. when the custom may be considered as fairly established. At Judge Robert sou's, Emma Square, was another well-arranged and numerously attended Christmas tree. At Mr. de Va rigny's, at Mr. Wicke's, at Mrs. Lowell Smith's at Dr. Judd's, at Mr. W. II. Dimond's, Christmas trees were also erected, and sheil their bmign influence overall who attended the n. God's blessings on the young, whatever their fate in after life ! God's blessings on the old who thus seek to store the mind of childhood with happy recollections of the spring of life, to en hance the pleasures or off-t the storms of riper years ! At midnight religious service was held at the Episco palian Church, and Grand Mass at the Catholic Cathe dral. The former, although a temporary structure, was richly decorated with evergreens and wreaths and splendidly lighted. Tbe Bishop of Honolulu and his clergy officiating, and their Majesties, the King and Queen attending. Tbe Catholic Church was illuminat ed with a profuseness and taste truly astonishing for Honolulu, and from pavement to dome wsb a blaze of lights, the roup Truil from the main entrance being th most magnificent ever witnessed here ; and the wreaths of light, high up in the air, round tbe tower of 'he church, had a most imposing effect in the still dark uight, like wardens aloft announcing to mankind that ' a child was born, in whose name all nations shall be blessed," and pointing silently upward to the realms of peace, " where the wicked cease from troubling and the weary are at rest." After the service was finished at the Episcopal Church, a grand torch-light procession was formed by the congregatioiwn which their Ma jesties, the Bishop and his clergy .nglish Commis sioner, and many others participial, proceeding through several streets of the city, singing Christmas e siuctrclyrejuffce at this first attempt toopularise the celebration of Christmas on a large scale in this country. Tbe native population swarmed in thousands, quiet, rapt spectators, apprehending in a vivid manner that religion has its pleasant aspect even on this side of the grave, and that devotion does not exclude the pleasurable emotions of tbe senses, given by God to per ceive His presence in the flower as well aa iu the thun der storm. Christmas-day was kept comparatively quiet as a day of family rejoicings, and, with the exception of the Catholic nnd Episcopal churches aud the church at Kawaiihao, no religious services were held by the churches of the other denominations. In the evening, however, there was a grand party at the German Club, of which Dr. E. Hoffmann is the President, where Christmas cheer was most abundaut, and where in speeches and songs " das alte Yaterland was as tenderly remembered as if the convives had sat on the banks of the Elbe or the top of the Brocken. Tbe German Club justly merits something more than a passing notice when speaking of Christmas holidays The Club was commenced some nine years ago by the German residents of this city. Besides the ordinary purposes of a Club, it has faitJsRlly subserved two noble ends which were perh not contemplated at the formation of the but nevertheless flowed naturally from the puTious education and customs of its members we min the keeping alive the Jiamma sacra of their ojp. nationality, and the liberalizing the public spirit Ci tbe community in which they lived. Before the first we reverently bow our head A n United Gebmant will yt have a page in the world's and we now honor those sentinels of its Avatar who keep their watch-fires burning abroad and at home. With the second, we enter not less sym- pathizingly, but more practically, in communion, nnd freely accord much, if not most, of the development of liberal sentiments in this community to the German element of its residents. Ordinarily quiet and unob trusive, correcttin their deportment, courteous and blithe, the Germans are ever found foremost on all proper occasions of music, song and dance, clinging to time-honored festivals and innocent amusements, and, what is best of all, showing by their own example, hew to nix the utile dulci of this world in proper propor tions. With them Christmas day has ever been kept and commemorated as a rallying point in time, a re membrancer of the land of their birth, a beacon in life where hope is kindled and faith grows firmer. Of the party ia question we have but space to speak in general terms. The table was laid with that good taste and scrupulous attention to every possible wish, that always is a mute but most eloquent introduction to a banquet. The wine teas from the Rhine. Mirth and Humor expanded every countenance. Of tbe toasts, the three first were" The Land of our Birth," appropriately and feelingly proposed by the President of the Club, Dr. Hoffmann ; Their Majesties of the Hawaii in Islands ; " under whose benign rule foreign era enjoyed a freedom unparalleled elsewhere, and who themselves were the patrons and partakers of every liberal sentiment, of every onward movement that looked to the happiness of others;" "Our Guests." In a word, it was as pleasant an evening as heart could desire, and our wish is that the German Club may prosper and its social influences for good prevail. We cannot close this notice of an agreeable Christ mas party without acknowledging the successful efforts of the Vice-President, Mr. Banning, and the humorous sallies of tbe worthy Secretarius of the Club, Mr. Schultz. To add to the gala appearance of the town, flags were displayed in every direction ashore and on tbe shipping in the haibor. Foreign Extract. Vanity Fair thinks the popular dances for 1S63 will be squad-drilles- A foreign journal says the Austian ladies have re solved to give crinoline a deed cut, and have intimated to the managers of the Vienna theatres that they will not patronize the house where the actresses wear crin oline. At the thousandth birth day of Russia, celebrated at Novgorod, the Emperor made a speech, declaring bis inteution to hold firmly to the course he has marked out in relation to the serts. It is openly charged in Washington that army sur geons are constantly bribed to allow men to go on the ground of physical disability, and that the army is rapidly growing less through the dishonest operation, A Cherokee Indian has been admitted as a delegate in tbe Rebel House of Representatives from the Chero kee Nation. In Cleveland a b"j of seventeen was accepted as a substitute for a drafted man, and received 2'X bonus. He spent the money, and then obtained his discharge on a writ of habeas corpus, on the ground that he was under the age prescribed for recruits. Substitutes are offered in Cincinnati as low as twelve dollars. The correspondent of the London Times tells the fol lowing of our honored President : A supplicant for office of more than ordinary pretensions, called upon hi in lately, nnd presuming on the activity be hid shown on Mr. Lincoln's behalf during tbe election that raised him to the Chief Magistracy, asserted, as a reason why the office he desired should be given to him, that be bad made him President. You made me President, did you?" said Mr. Lincoln, with a twinkle of his eye. I think I did." said the applicant. "Then a pre cious mt-ss you've got me into, that's all," replied Mr. Lincoln, and closed the discussion. CoMlribnlioiia la I lie (hurra's llonpitnl. Trans May 30tli, 1801, la Dec. ZOtli, 1802.
